I want to eat more oatmeal because it is good for me, but I don't like actual bowls of oatmeal. I'm also on a diet so I can't eat a regular high calorie oatmeal cookie.

Well today I found & made this recipe for 2 ingredient cookies - just bananas and quick oats. They are so good! (for a super low calorie heart healthy snack, that is - don't want expectations to be too high!)

I will definitely be making these again. Has anyone else ever made them? What did you mix in?

This is what I had lying around to mix in:handful of chocolate chips1/4 C hemp hearts1 tsp vanilla1 tsp cinnamon about 3 tbsp almond meal, because my bananas were huge and the dough seemed a little wet

I have been freezing muffins and cookies so I can pull one out for L without needing to eat one myself. She'll chew on them cold, which seems gross to me. Its been really helpful for watching my weight, because otherwise I tend to eat things so as not to waste them.

Cats are obligate carnpenisivores! That is why they have pointy teeth! They didn't climb up the food chain to eat vegetables! They are the ultimate paleos, the noble caveman snacking on the penises of their meaty, meaty prey. Beans will kill you.

Nomnomnom

I made these, and added cocoa because...chocolate! They were really nice but I found they went off REALLY quick (I guess makes sense, seeing as they're bananas)...In a couple of days they were mouldy :(

Yep one of the comments on the recipe page said that too. I put mine in the fridge, i figured that would help and so far so good. In fact I just ate one now.
